Make your own products!
Drinking plenty of water and eating plenty of raw fruits and vegetables is probably the best way to achieving healthy hair. What goes into your body is reflected on the outside including your hair.
In the meantime, you don’t have to spend money on expensive products to have beautiful hair.
Try these tips and you’ll be surprised how effective they are.
Shiny, lustrous hair
To have beautiful, lustrous and shiny hair:
- Rinsing your hair with a bit of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar diluted in water will give your hair shine and bounce.
- Apply olive oil to your hair before the shampoo. Cover with a towel and leave it for 30min. Then shampoo it.
- You can add small amount of baking soda in the shampoo. It will remove dirt and grease from your hair to give you the shiny look.
Avocado Hair Mask
Mash one avocado with 1 tbsp of lemon juice and 1 tbsp of sea salt and mix until it becomes a paste.
Apply on the hair and wrap with cling film or a plastic bag. Leave it for 30 min.
Rinse, shampoo and rinse again, for soft, luxiurious hair!
